Fork recommendation for Soma Juice

I have a Soma Juice coming next week. I just picked up a 2013 Felt Nine 60 that ended up being too small. This bike caught my eye big time and I was actually able to ride one at my shop (my mechanic). I had just picked up a SID XX for my felt and liked it fine. Problem is the Soma has a straight steerer where as my SID XX is tapered. My mechanic has the SAME fork on his bike in the straight.

Should I just pick up that shock for the Soma or should I consider something different since it's a steel framed bike? I definitely want Remote Lockout. Thanks.
